The President of Ukraine considers it logical to isolate Russian sports.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky considers it expedient to remove Russian athletes from the international arena.
“I don't think you can feel the pain we felt, but you should at least know and feel at least some discomfort.
Then you will be able to understand that you are not like everyone else. And your government made you an outcast. That is why the international boycott of certain Russian athletes who have nothing to do with politics is the right decision.
Because, unfortunately, they are related. They may not even feel it until the end, right? But they must understand that they are an instrument of the country's international image.
You don't have to set fire to someone's car, you don't have to shoot anyone, you don't have to force. If you didn't kill your native king there, then you're not our friend. Yes no, no! Well, just support.
Just say. Just say I can't do that, I don't want to. Even if one person heard me, it would still be a plus, not a minus, and the phrase “we still won't be heard, it won't help” – it doesn't work, it's unfair.
Therefore, boycotting – just to understand that when they die there, you should be at least uncomfortable, “- said Zelensky in an interview with Russian opposition journalists.
